Hi all, 

Currently trying to sync some users into an IFS Cloud environment through Azure User Provisioning and ideally we dont want the Person record to be created along with the User. Does anyone know of a way this can be done - if possible?

 

I’ve tried un-mapping the person attributes in Azure however, it errors saying that X attribute is needed for creation of the Person record.

 

Any help appreciated, thanks!

I think you’ll find that Person is connected everywhere and is the basis for other people objects.

 

Persons can be Users, Employees, Contacts, Representatives, but I believe that these four categories all depend on the Person for certain attributes that are more Global to be carried along.

Yes I understand that there are links between user - person, employee - person, person can be customer/supplier contact etc,

but you can create a user manually without linking a Person record, so I was wondering if you could do the same when syncing Azure users.
